We specialize in septic systems, class 1 & 2. We do perc test, septic repairs, new installs, diagnosing problem systems. We are also a Norweco Singular Green dealer of HAU/ATU's. I also do some excavating, foundations, grading, water & electric lines, driveways, clearing, and well pump/pressure tank installs. But Septic work is my bread and butter so I pick and choose the other work based off how busy I am otherwise. I don't mind doing whole lot packages for home prep as bundling is better pricing for my clients and more steady work on my end. I do not pump septic tanks.

"I was measuring the distance of a neighbor's septic system from my property line to make sure it was compliant with WV Health Department Code, and these guys were dropping f bombs, calling me a clown, and saying I was "b*******" about a couple inches, even though I didn't say anything to them. They were cursing around my kids and very unprofessional."

"If I could rate this company a 0 I would. Very un professional and left an elderly man without water over night with an excuse no other than the supply house was closed (from an issue that was caused by inexperience. Not to mention items missing from the home. Subpar work"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
